VTI introduces its newest platform in rapid cycle vacuum metallizers—the LEAN 710. The LEAN 710 utilizes the same fixtures as VTI’s flagship Press-Side® 4000SL sputtering system. Customers can specify the deposition source as either thermal evaporation or magnetron sputtering. In an industry first, the LEAN 710 can be converted IN THE FIELD, from one deposition type to the other. All this innovation is available at a significantly lower cost than VTI’s Press-Side® platform.

Contact us today for more information about our vacuum metallization equipment. Our team is happy to answer any questions you may have about our products.

VTI is just back from exhibiting at the Automotive Interiors Expo 2017 held in Novi, MI. The expo was held in conjunction with Automotive Testing Expo 2017 & Engine Expo 2017. It was a must-attend technical show for many Detroit-Based OEM representatives, Tier 1 /Tier 2 suppliers, and the downstream supplier community.

A notable array of state of the art technology covering a very wide spectrum of automotive component and system evaluation technology was on display, as well as a healthy number of exhibitors (including VTI) supporting the 1st iteration in the USA of the very successful Automotive Interiors Expo held every year in Stuttgart, Germany. (see VTI at the 2018 Stuttgart Expo June 5-7, 2018 http://www.automotive-interiors-expo.com/en/)

There was an amazing parade of high quality contacts expressing interest in VTI SuperChrome™, for interior and exterior trim and other decorative/functional components. SuperChrome™ and our more traditional PVD solutions were on display, to address the ever-changing design interests of OEMS and the greater supply chain.

I would like to give a major shout-out to not only the Show organizers, but all the workers, attendees and exhibitors who braved a water main break during the entire show, rendering restrooms and running water unavailable to not only the venue, but to a large portion of the regional community. We stoically endured porta johns and hand sanitizer overload, and it did not appear to dampen the spirits of any that were in attendance. It’s highly encouraging to see a generally pampered and privileged business community realize that we can survive and thrive under less than ideal conditions. The open bar on the show floor on Wednesday night did not hurt either…..

Following along with the success and excitement generated at AIX – the Automotive Interiors Expo – in Stuttgart in June 2017, VTI is pleased to support the first annual exhibition at AIX US, to be held October 24 to 26 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

“AIX US is about quality, color, texture, touch, feel and innovation. Specialty finishes are a strong theme of the expo, with some companies offering plastic compounding and masterbatching, metallized plastics and chrome-look plastics, and others presenting hot foil stamping and film insert molding.”

VTI will be featuring their SuperChrome™ PVD Coating, the preferred alternative to decorative chrome plating. With the touch and feel of traditional chrome plating, SuperChrome™ requires no painted top coat and demonstrates excellent adhesion on plastics. SuperChrome™ has met and exceeded many of the most stringent automotive tests for traditional chrome plating, and painted surfaces, even surpassing 330 hours of the grueling “Russian Mud” test, which far exceeds traditional chrome plated surfaces.

SuperChrome™ is REACH compliant and contains no harmful hexavalent chromium (Cr +6) compounds. Visit us at AIX US to meet with our team and discuss our PVD technology. We are happy to provide you with the information you need, as well as assist with quotes.
